It is difficult to make generalizations about organizational
             behavior. Organizational structure and thus organizational behavior can
             vary greatly from one corporation to another, one particular geographic or
             regional corporate climate to another, and one industry to another. Even
             within the particular organizational climate of companies that develop
             computer software, considerable environmental and managerial differences
             are evident between, for instance established companies such as Microsoft
             and upstart companies such as Red Hat.' For instance, Microsoft's current
             dominance of the proprietary software market and Red Hat's' stress upon
             nonproprietary software create a distinct divide between these company's
             corporate culture as well as the magnitude of Microsoft's sheer largess.
             Thus, different corporate cultures can be created between companies
             for many reasons, even within the software industry. For instance, because
             of the different salaries commanded by the average employee, and the
             different corporate ethos advanced by the individuals at the head of the
             corporation, a different ambience' or set of values may be stressed,
             formally or informally, between members of the staff and members of the
             staff and their supervisors. Also, chief executives do not only determine
             hiring and firing of employees. They also set a tone that can be quite
             unique, even within firms of the same industry, depending on whether the
             executive got his or her start within the industry, or is a hired gun'
             with an MBA, determined to turn a profit wherever he or she may find him or
             These fact being duly noted, there is still a general, distinct
             organizational climate of companies that develop software, as opposed to
             companies that are purely creative in focus, such as advertising agencies,
             for example, or purely numerical in nature, such as financial investment
